Earlier this year Stop Funding Hate was the subject of a complaint to the CIC Regulator, alleging that our work was in breach of the law and amounted to “political” activity. This allegation was wholly unfounded and we are pleased to confirm that it has not been upheld. /1
Self-evidently, #StopFundingHate’s work seeking to persuade private companies not to advertise with toxic media does not fall under the definition of “political” activity outlined in the CIC rules here: legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2005/1788…

Around the world, those challenging racism and campaigning for human rights are frequently subjected to false allegations of illegality & law-breaking. While it's sad to see this happening in the UK, #StopFundingHate will not be diverted by this. /3 frontlinedefenders.org/en/violation/s…
This year has also seen a series of hostile media articles attacking #StopFundingHate supporters following the success of our campaign on GB News. These have prompted a surge in donations to our work: /4

Even media hostile to #StopFundingHate are acknowledging the impact that our supporters & volunteers have been having. GB News's multi-million pound funders can subsidise it if they want, but the rest of us have every right to say "not with my money": archive.ph/MNkue#selectio… /6
In the past year, a wave of unfounded complaints have been made against civil society groups that have discussed contested issues. Alongside #StopFundingHate, Barnardos, the Runymede Trust & the National Trust have also been targeted. None of these complaints were upheld. /7
Not everyone's a fan... But #StopFundingHate works: stopfundinghate.info/2021/12/21/bec…
A massive thankyou to everyone who's supported #StopFundingHate this year. There's a way still to go but together we're showing the difference it can make when we use our power as consumers to speak out against hate: stopfundinghate.info/get-involved/ /9

Congratulations to @Grind for doing the right thing. Sadly they're now getting a hateful pile-on from Twitter accounts with long numbers in their name... Let's show that love is stronger than hate! #StartSpreadingLove
GB News might not like it - but companies are free to choose where they do & don't advertise, and customers are free to speak out & seek to influence those advertising choices...

Well done to @Grind for choosing love over hate 👏👏👏

Amid rising transphobia in our media and vitriolic attacks against trans human rights defenders, it's vital to speak out & oppose all forms of identity-based hate within our public discourse: stopfundinghate.info/2018/09/28/sto…

In a recent BBC interview, the GB News CEO again lashed out at #StopFundingHate supporters, and suggested that "a lot" of the channel's struggle to attract advertisers "comes down to groups such as Stop Funding Hate" /1 Logo for the BBC Media Show (programme can be heard online h
The GB News CEO has complained to the Telegraph that "Stop Funding Hate played a really central role in positioning us as a ‘hate’ outfit".

According to the Telegraph "countering the threat from Stop Funding Hate (SFH) has been a constant worry" 2/ msn.com/en-gb/entertai…
Yet while #StopFundingHate supporters have played a significant role, it's vital to acknowledge that many others have also been raising serious concerns about GB News & the content it has been pushing /3 theguardian.com/media/2023/feb…

In 2018, @StopFundingHate produced this video highlighting the human impact of transphobic media.

The vitriolic trolling from anti-trans networks that we received in response only confirmed for us how extreme the situation had become 1/
#StopFundingHate is committed to challenging all forms of hate, and we're proud that our supporter community includes people from across UK society. Trans people have been an active part of #StopFundingHate from the earliest days of our campaign. /2 stopfundinghate.info/2018/09/28/sto…
The orchestrated nature of anti-trans demonisation has been shocking to witness - but time and again we've seen that when enough of us stand together and refuse to be divided, it is possible to push back /3 splcenter.org/hatewatch/2017…
